Rayne’s POV Looking around me I saw over a dozen wolves as Reese held me in his arms. Ethan thankfully stopped Kera before she got to me and I was grateful to him. My heart felt full seeing the wolves come to my rescue and I realized they accepted me as one of them. Reese commanded Kera to shift back and she did on his command and I was starting to piece together who Reese truly was after just about every wolf here took orders from him and called him Alpha. After everyone cleared out and Kera was taken away by two of the men Reese pulled away from me assessing my injuries. “We’re going to have to get you back to the packhouse to get you checked by the pack doctor.” Reese says as he finishes his examination of my body. For some reason I didn’t feel weird being in front of him naked anymore. “I think I’m healing already. It doesn’t hurt anymore.” I tell him as I look at the dried blood on my skin. My blooded body looked like I was a murder victim in a horror movie. “I may need a ba

Rayne’s POV My eyes fluttered open as I awoke the next day unfortunately to an empty bed. A single piece of paper laid on Reese’s pillow and I quickly sat up and reached for it. Sorry baby, I didn’t want to wake you. I have matters I need to attend to this morning. Ethan retrieved your stuff from Emma and they are lying on the chair in the corner of our room. If you awake before I am finished please join me in my office, down the stairs and to the right third door on the left. Can’t wait to see you. Love, Reese I held my chest as I read the note. His choice of words pulled deep at my soul. “Our room” and “Love, Reese” both took me off guard. He really was wanting forever and I was on the verge of giving him forever after the night we had spent together making love. He asked me to never leave him again last night and it about broke my heart hearing the pain in his voice when he asked but I couldn't promise him that just yet. I had things I had to figure out first and one was wha

Rayne’s POV If Reese kept assaulting my neck like that, I was going to give him whatever he wanted. “Fine I will stay here and we can figure out how I can see my grandmother.” I say giving in to him. I was glad Reese took me on the tour of the packhouse and the grounds. He introduced me to so many members and I found that a ton of them I already knew from school. It was crazy how I had lived so many years of my life surround by wolves but never knew they existed or that my own father was one. Talking with Reese today also took away a lot of my stress I had on what I was going to decide for my future. Thankfully tomorrow Reese was going to help me get transferred to the local college here in Ridgewood. I’d also need to call tomorrow and let the diner know I won’t be returning for work. That evening after dinner I excused myself and went to lay down. The night before had taken a toll on me and Reese was understanding as he walked me to our room. He kissed my forehead before he le

Rayne’s POV Warm masculine arms were wrapped around me when I finally woke up. Conner had done what I asked he had stayed with me. It had been over a year since I had seen him last he had left for a big-time job he got in California. Conner and I have had our share of fun together but we never went past second base. He always said he didn’t want to hurt me being his sister’s best friend and that he knew he wasn’t going to stick around here. Conner must have felt me staring at him because he pulled me in closer to him. “Emma is going to kill me when she finds out I’m sleeping in her bed.” I giggled because he probably was right. “You think it’s funny?” He asks and he begins to tickle me as he rolls on top of me and then he stops and looks into my eyes. “I’ve missed you Rayne.” “I’ve missed you too.” I tell him as I bite down on my bottom lip. Conner takes that as his opportunity to lean down and kiss me. The kiss started out soft but quickly turned into more as I moved my hand

Rayne’s POV “For me?” I asked him confused because when he left a year ago, he didn’t even say goodbye. “I messed up Rayne. I left town to get away from my parents and everything. If I only could tell you everything it would make stuff so much easier, but I can’t tell you my family affairs. But I know now that I should have taken you with me Rayne. I shouldn’t have left you here with them.” Conner said and I wondered what he was talking about. His family has been so good to me and I am thankful for everything they do for me. “I don’t understand what you’re talking about Conner. Your family has been good to me.” I tell him confused. Conner moves toward me, so we are standing only a foot apart now. “Rayne my family isn’t what they seem to be. I left town because they didn’t want me to see you anymore. So, I left thinking I could get you out of my head and you never drifted away from my thoughts. I dreamt about you every night and everything reminded me of you. Rayne I’m in love w
